You attacked the problem from the losing side, and I did not realize it.
You should write a plugin for VLC (or any other good player), that translates blocks of colour into dithered blocks.
Not different from a real-time ASCII-art renderer (instead of punctuation you have differently dense salt-and-pepper rectangles). Funny I mentioned it earlier.

There should be a few ASCII-art plugins around, so one could just modify a good one - to get a quick hack that does its job.

Of course, a good implementation on a firmware would be great. MaxCarta and Max2 have it. And it is a more effective impiementation than the one I described here, in general.

EDIT: I am not sure that VLC for Android has plugins. Probably ExoPlayer is the good one.
